Happy Wednesday everyone!
I can't even believe that I am finally getting around to post this look. I first wore it to a little pre-Christmas get together...And then I lost a cord to my Canon 50d, so I couldn't upload any of the photos from it. (for those who don't know, older SLRs don't use an SD card, but a compact flash card) And, because I am cheap to anything that doesn't involve cloths, I decided to save a dollar (or in my case $8), and order a replacement cord from China... I ended up paying only .80 cents for it, but it took almost a month to arrive.

By the way, who is also mad for velvet? What is your favorite color? Recently, I've been obsessing over the blue velvet pieces. Although, I did purchase few non-blue velvet items on my recent Zara spree (visit my Instagram page to see what I got), I seem to gravitate towards the blue. I find it a very easy to style color. Velvet pieces can sometimes be a little over-powering or too dressy for an everyday look, but the blue helps mute the "richness" down making an outfit look chic rather than gory.

Happy Halloween Everyone!!
Let me start this post from apologizing to you all for being MIA all last week. I was super sick and busy at school, so I literary would crash as soon as I would get home.  Needless to say, not much was accomplished by me last week. I still have my suitcase partially packed from our trip to Ozarks.
That said, I still went out on Friday, because nothing will stop me from celebrating Halloween!

As for today's outfit... I really didn't want to go the preppy/nautical way. So, I thought I would add a little "fall" to this look by pairing red with wine. I wore this outfit to "hang" with my blogger bestie Cheyenne from the Cheyennenguyen Blog, but it would also be appropriate for work.

OK guys, it's time to get Cozy! I don't know about you, but nothing says cozy more than the soft oversized sweater. And, the more oversized the better, because we all  know that the size matters. This adorable Dresslily sweater is the perfect fall staple. It's super comfortable and perfectly oversized. You might have noticed that I've been really loving the fall colors recently, hence the color of my sweater, but for anyone who isn't "feeling under the weather", it also comes in white and gray. Today, I am wearing it with the cropped jeans, but it would also look great partnered with a pair of OTK or riding boots.

And, talking about cropped jeans.... I honestly don't know how I feel about the new fringe- cropped flared -jeans trend. I always considered frayed hems on jeans as un-finished dyi projects and so it's a little hard for me to see them as statement pieces rather than old hand-me-downs. Maybe in time I'll change my mind, but for now I'll hold of on buying more.

I hope everyone has great rest of the week! And if you still haven't checked the Dresslily store out, I would recommend you do it. They have a lot of fall and winter pieces all for under $20. And I don't know about you, but it's a good day anytime I can score a 20$ sweater.
